got to do some fishing last week with the ice finally melting. no luck out on the boat for a few hours, with cold temps and wind not helping me either. decided to shore bang a pond on the way to my MRI and 15 mins before I was gonna leave, I feel a hit. Set hook and get her in, I couldn't believe it. Water is very cold still here in central MA and this ponds max depth is 5 feet. Wasn't able to get her on a scale but either way I'm beyond stoked to be on the swimbait board in MA mid March.
